Hello
Thanks for your query.Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that your husband has painless hematuria. This can be due to either some tumour in the Bladder or due to Enlarged Prostate which is common at this age.
Please consult qualified urologist for clinical examination and further investigations like--
Ultrasound Scanning of the abdomen.
Endoscopic examination of Bladder ( Cystoscopy)
